Edit: because a few comments make me worry that some are taking this seriously - this meme is a play on the type of hopeless dating posts you might find in less healthy corners of the internet. The joke is a suggestion that the real problem is that one man in the image has some sort of arrow-attracting superpower.
jokes work on shared assumptions. This joke is political imho, and trying to avoid it saying that “this was a joke” when it doesn’t criticize these hetersexist assumptions, for me, it strengthens them.
This graphic is making fun of the man-o-sphere bullshit idea that all women are only attracted to “alpha males,” my dude. You’ve totally missed the mark
No, it’s not. It’s based on these two things
The latter especially has this widely-misquoted line:
Many people understood it as “80% of women go for 20% of guys”, but that’s not what it’s saying.
If you also look at the first article, it has many graphs which speak for themselves
One might argue the data derived from Tinder, Bumble, and Hinge users who also upload their data to Swipestats.io is unlikely to be representative of the general population
One could argue it’s a meme.
Yeah, that was me, a few comments above lmao
Well, I’m happy that this isn’t incel shit. And I am happy not to be so exposed to it regularly. To me, it looks way too inside their mental codes, still can’t find it funny, but anyway. Thanks for the patience
I agree with you. Some people will see this as confirmation that women all are attracted to the same guy implying the same doesn’t happen with men too. It’s worth pointing out the opposite is true. Guys of all ages fawn after the 19-24 year old, conventionally attractive women, too.
